VALE: Nadine Ohara

<p>I could always depend on her for a clear eyed response to any issue raised on these forums. I will miss her even hand and good advice. My deepest sympathy to all who are close to her, and were fortunate enough to know her.</p>

<p>Had never met Nadine but the loss of an obviously much admired photographer and person, is everybody's loss.<br>

Kind thoughts for the Ohara Family.</p>

<p>I don't do wedding photography, but enjoyed reading her posts anyway, as she conveyed well her knowledge, wisdom, and good heart together with the calm and maturity so valued in a forum moderator. I had missed her here recently, and now know why. Her spirit came through in her words, and made Photo.net a better place. I will miss her gentle and steady presence.</p>

<p>Sad to hear that! My best wishes to her family.</p>

<p>I'm more of a reader than a poster in this forum, and I always read Nadine's post with great interest - always spot-on and about the best advise one could find around here. I will certainly miss her presence.</p>

 

<p>No man is an island,<br />Entire of itself.<br />Each is a piece of the continent,<br />A part of the main.<br />If a clod be washed away by the sea,<br />Europe is the less.<br />As well as if a promontory were.<br />As well as if a manor of thine own<br />Or of thine friend's were.<br />Each man's death diminishes me,<br />For I am involved in mankind.<br />Therefore, send not to know<br />For whom the bell tolls,<br />It tolls for thee.</p>

<p>I was so sorry to read about Nadine's passing in the newsletter today. When I first started my own photography business, Nadine was very helpful to me. Every piece of advice she had was useful and practical, and her criticism was constructive and correct - and all of it well-said in a way I could absorb. She had such a good way of putting things. My sincere condolences go to her family and loved ones, and I hope they know just how many people she has helped over the years. May her spirit rest in peace. </p>

<p>Oh, dear. I enjoyed reading her many helpful and informative posts--a stalwart figure on the photo.net wedding forums. My deepest sympathies for those who knew her. She will be dearly missed.</p>

<p>A true loss to all....my deepest and sincerest condolences to her family and loved one. May she rest in peace.</p>

Nadine helped me fix a problem with a location event I did in her neck of the woods, and she was first class all the way. A true professional.

<p>Thank you Nadine for all your advice here on photo.net. I feel so sad you are no longer able to talk to us. I will miss your calm voice on this forum.</p>

Love and light for your next journey Nadine. Warm regards. Jorge.

<p>Stunning and tragic news. Though never meeting her in person, I always envisioned Nadine as a warrior princess.<br />Full of warmth and kindness but able to neutralize adversity with grace and strength.<br /> I cannot even say that "she will be missed her on photonet", for that is a gross understatement. We have lost a vital component of photonet. I can't imagine the grief her family must be dealing with.<br />Peace to you, Nadine...and peace to your friends and family.</p>

<p>It was always nice when I got a response from Nadine when I posted a question. I didn't know her personally, but I respected her knowledge and experience. Photonet will be a lonelier place without her.</p>

<p>So sad, she was voice of reason.</p>

<p>Very sorry to hear this. It was very obvious from Nadines posts that she was both very generous in spirit and kind of heart. My condolences to her family.</p>

<p>My condolences to Nadine's family. Pnet won't be the same without her.</p>

<p>Godspeed Nadine. May you have a safe journey to the other side. We will all miss you.</p>

<p>I am so sad to hear this. Nadine has been a great moderator, advocate of good practices, champion of good causes and generally a wonderful person to have gotten to know a little.</p>

<p>I will miss her and, offer her family and loved ones my most sincere condolences.</p>

 

<p>Rest in peace and thank you. To her friends and family my condolences. </p>

<p>A class act.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>I have visited this forum less than 20 times maybe, and not for months or a year or so, and even I noticed this calm and generous lady. Condolences to the regular members.</p>

<p>Wow, I just read this and I am so saddened by this news. I had backed away from wedding and events for the last 6 months or so because things had got so busy and hadn't been back to pnet up until now. Nadine was such a sweetheart and always willing to share and help others. I learned so much from Nadine. She will definitely be remembered for helping others. My condolences goes out to her family she will be missed...</p>

<p>Nadine was a well respected person on this site. I enjoyed reading her comments and I learned much from her. Although I have not been on the site as much as I would like, she was the one person who shared a vast amount of knowledge. She never made anyone feel out of place and ecouraged anyone willing to learn become better. Thanks Nadine for your knowledge. Photonet will definately miss your input. May God watch over her and her family.<br>

<p>I found Nadine via photo.net and I had her shoot my wedding. One of her favorite shots she mentioned in one of the interviews was of me hugging my mom. Nadine was a incredible class act, so smart, and amazingly talented. I am saddened to hear of this news as I haven't been on PN for a while. Her skill was one that was simple, yet captivating. She will be missed.</p>
